Kangley Ends Long
Term^pn Board ,
Dr. Lucy Kangley recently .resign­ed
from the Board of Control. Miss
Marjorie Muttly, PE instructor, will
take Dr. Kangley's place at the be­ginning
of the Spring quarter. Dr.
Kangley has been on the board since
before the war and she stated that
board work was the most interesting
job she has had at the college. The
biggest problem of her career, she
declared, was during the war when
there was a big drop in enrollment
and the college budget had to be
cut.
Dr. Kangley. said, "I enjoyed the
fair mindedness of the students and
the way they think of the good of
the whole school." She went on to
say that the students tried to
broaden school activities and con­sider
the problems in an intelligent
way.
She felt that the Associated - Stu­dent
Body presidents were well
chosen and made a fine record both
in college and in business.
Larger Boar adae
By SHIRLEY DICKINSON
Recommendations for a larger Board of Control, with more complete
student representation, were made to the body by ICC President Art
Ruhestrand. Discussions centered on various proposals to provide fuller
representation of the underclassmen especially. More frequent class meet­ings
were suggested. Fred DeBruler announced that the powers, duties
and privileges of the Board, as granted in the ASB constitution, will be
published soon in a series of Collegian articles. ICC findings to the effect
that Board meetings were not entirely open were also presented by Rune-strand.
The possibility .of meeting in a larger room was suggested as *
probable solution.
Al Magnuspn read the final financial report on ad receipts for the
Profile and Homecoming booklet.*

French Color Film
Scheduled for
Tuesday's Program
Showing -fcjs famous i natural-color
film "This Is France," Alfred
Wolff will appear in the college
auditorium Tuesday, February 15, at
10 a m. The artist-photographer,
world traveler and newspaperman
calls his movie, which portrays the
beauty, art, and people of postwar
France, not just a travelogue, but
• a Travel-Art-ogue.
Through his excellent photo­graphy,
Mr. Wolff was able to record
exclusively the fashion shows of
Christian Dior and Jacques Path,
which introduced the "new look." In
addition he has lent his artistry to
scenes of Paris from the Eiffel Tow­er,
shots of Rheims' historic cathed-ftiresque
villages and people of Brit­tany
and Alsac-Lorraine.
"This Is France" proved enter-taining
and delightful to Wolffs fel­low
countryman, Maurice Chevalier,
' and his photography and selection of
subject material-have won critical
acclaim here and abroad.

Committee of Five
Appointed by ICC
Inter Club Council appointed a
committee at the last meeting con­sisting
of five persons: Gordon
Smith, Dick Robison, Jack Miller,
Catherine Redmond, and Miss Nora
Cummins. The committee is to
draw up a proposed plan to add
members to the Board of Control.
This new plan is designed so as to
have ..full ..representation ..of ..all
classes.
The plan will be written as an
initiative on the ballots. At the next
election the students will vote on
this initiative and if passed by the
student body it will then go to the
Board of Control. If passed by the
Board of Control it will be added
as an amendment to the school con­stitution.
A recommendation was made to
the Board of Control to meet in a
room other than the student body
president's office. It was decided
that this room is not large enough
to accommodate the members and
does not have an atmosphere of
Welcome.

Football Star
Walker To
Judge Co-eds
Doak Walker, All American foot­ball
star from Southern Methodist
University, will be the final Judge
of the ten WWC Prom candidates
February 19 at the fiftieth anniver­sary
Prom.
Walker, winner of the 1948 J; W.
Heisman trophy presented in New
York to the most outstanding all
around player of the season, is 21
years old and a junior, at the Texas
institution.
Home to the blonde, unassuming
young man. is Highland Park, a
suburb of Dallas. There he attend­ed
Highland Park high school, win­ning
the Texas state football champ­ionship.
After graduation in 1945,
Doak went into the United States
Army for eighteen months where
Norman Sansregret, WWC junior,
played football with him. Most of
Walker's time in the aiiBiy/.was;
spent at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
The 175 lb. Heisman trophy win­ner,
although quiet and retiring, is
very popular with his coUeaguesAac-cording
to Sansregret. He neyef
talks football when he is away from
it, probably one of the reasons he ;is
liked. Sports of all kinds seem {;to
interest Doak. He is a great horsed
man, likes to swim, and plays hase-ball
f or Southern Methodist. Bafled
by football scribes as one of the*l)est
all around backs in 1948, Wa^r
